Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 14, 2024

The Walt’s have ears, after all

Everyone on Ballard St. knows about Walt Jerkowski’s ‘little’ hobby.

with this fella, who needs NASA?

Fortunately, Martha remembered to bring an air horn.

You mean he might learn of our plan to poison him and bury him in the backyard?

That’s a big hearing aid!

I could use that

‘E can’t ‘ear what they’re saying, that fly on the wall is talking too loud…

Walt’s always heard voices, maybe now he can understand them…

It’s too dirty to put his “ear to the ground”, Walt’s got a better way…

Walt’s new hearing aid is a bit unwieldy.

He’s a one man band who usually almost strangles himself……………………..help!

Walt built it with spare parts he purchased at the Frankenstein yard sale.

Good morning Balladeers!

Those hearing aids they sell at Ballard St Hardware & Stuff, are a tad large. Best he get one for the other side to keep him balanced.

They can talk all they want. He’s currently listening to the house two doors down.

Given that Walt has such a fancy hearing aid, you’d think he’d listen to his wife when she talks to him… unless the famed ‘selective listening’ people (especially married couples) are noted for kicks in.

he’s listening to charles hawtrey and the deaf aids…

“what are you wearing that pinafore?*”

(*pinna — the outer ear)

…he must work for the FBI!

“His Mistress’ Voice”

He’s listening to the voices inside Martha’s head.

Good night, Ballard Dears!
